Come spend your Friday evening with internationally renowned artist Mike Elsass during our open air, outdoor class. Paint with Mike and learn his “Brush Before the Brian” philosophy. In this class, you will learn to let go of all restraints and create freely. As Mike often and simply says, "No mistakes." You will paint on recycled, rusted steel, with a wide range of mediums. All supplies are included in the cost of $70/person.

Funds from this event will support Dayton’s Gem City Catfe, a coffeehouse, serving wine and cocktails, with adoptable, rescue cats living on site in a fully separate lounge. Gem City’s goal is to foster positive interactions between cats and people, in an expectation free environment.

While the cat lounge will be closed during the event, we’ll select a few star kitties to make a special appearance during the class. Allergic? Don’t worry, they will be harnessed, and we will be outdoors - a purrrrfect way to support our four-legged friends!

At the end of class, you will leave with your own unique piece of abstract art, and a sense of freedom and energy you're likely to have never experienced before.

This class is designed for all ages and abilities. Whether you've never painted a day in your life, or if you paint all the time, you are guaranteed to love this one of a kind experience!

TICKETS AND CANCELLATION

The cost of the class is $70 and covers the cost of all supplies. Tickets also include a drink of choice, including wine and cocktails.
